Everything seemed to work properly, except that when I ADD or REMOVE data from one of the libraries, the Library is no longer automatically updated.
I have to manually perform a “Scan Library Files” to update the library…
The setting In Settings/Library > “Scan my library automatically” is enabled though.
Worked fine before the update.
Installed Plex Version = 1.23.6.4881-7000 (Fresh from the Plex download site)
I’m going to bump this threat since I have a very similar issue for which (re)setting the permissions doesn’t seem to work. When media is added, after fixing permissions the library is scanned automatically and new content appears. However, when deleting a content at file level, the library scan is no longer initiated. The deleted content is removed from the library only when:
Scheduled library scan runs (for me set once a day)
New content is added and the whole library is being scanned (since it is set not to only check the directory that has changed)
Manual library scan is started by me
Please see attached logs. I used !TESTDIRECTORY and TESTDIRECTORY2 to reproduce the problem. You can hopefully see that the first first directory is picked up upon creation, however not removed after deleting, only when the second directory is created.
I have not had this problem before the DSM7 upgrade and migration.
Any help is appreciated, let me know if you need more input.
Thank you for your reply. Instead of disabling the recycle bin, could it work if I add #recycle/ to the .plexignore file? Also the Synology Download Station stores incomplete downloads on a separate shared folder and moves them only after completion so that should not be a problem IMHO.
I appreciate your comments but for our current usage pattern it is good the way it is. Turned out I already added the recycle bin and the BTRFS snapshots folder (which I made visible) to the .plexignore file and they don’t show up in the libraries. Why is still the recyle bin folder mentioned in the logs I don’t know, but I don’t think it has to do anything with the issue I have mentioned. @ChuckPa what do you think?
Automatic change notification (which, by default, includes all directories under the top directory). This list is loaded when PMS starts. This is where you’re seeing the error.
The ignore rules (.plexignore) – which tells the scanner/matcher the ones to ignore.
The normal flow would be :
You change a file in a monitored directory
The Linux kernel raises the notification of change
PMS responds
It prepares to scan & match
However, it realizes the file is to be ignored per the ignore file – so it stops
When not excluded, normal addition process occurs.
In my writeup for engineering, what I see as the main problem here is a regression.
Specifically, “Permission Denied” errors should not be fatal.
